So sorry to hear of Bob's passing. I am a cousin from Ohio. Bob was very kind to me on a visit and helped me to get the grave marker for my Great Great Grandfather Noah Bergey who served in the Civil War, surviving Andersonville Prison. I was very touched by his kindness and his friendship. My deepest sympathy to the family. JoAnn from Ohio

you will be missed so much, by so many people. (I hopp; with the Bennett gang) I know you are in no pain now, and probably eyeing a 4-wheeler.
you will be forever in our hearts.
